Mom! I'm glad you called. I forgot to tell you, I'm the new school mascot! I need you to drive me to practice in an hour. Well, is dad going to be out of the hospital in time to drive me?
Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately this is the reaction of kids to the first news of this type. It takes a while for reality to set in and for them to realize the impact on their life.
Mr. Cravens you are so in tune with the child mind, it’s almost scary! Yesterday, I told my teen son I was sick…his response was “I need to be picked up by 7:15”. Mind you there is public transportation and he’s 17. Luckily his friend ended up bringing him home.

Not a good beginning to “you need to step up” Toby.
